I really am enjoying these tales of the Southern Inmans even tho they don't do me any good :-). Sure do wish someone could tell me some tales of the Ohio INMANS who apparently go back to the New Jersey whalers. I HAVE gotten over my brick wall and now have connections all the way from Reuben (my ggf) on back. Finally found him as a child living with his parents, and so connection was made.

Yes, I am aware of that article. That's why I have discounted this German issue. However, I'm beginning to thing that Meshach's wife may have been German. A large number of Germans were living in NC in the same area as these Inmans and at the same period of time. Perhaps that's where this German question is coming from. Meshach's sons, Lazarus and Samuel, were tiny when he died. They would have had few, if any, memories of him. However, if his mother came from the German community, perhaps they assumed that their father came from that community also??? Just a thought--something I hope to explore tomorrow when I go to the library. Meshach's wife has never been identified.

I found my Jim Bunch on the 1850 Census in Bates County, MO. He didn't relocate to Jasper County until mid-1850s. (I believe that he married my 3rd great aunt, Milly Catherine Spence, in Jasper County in 1855). His family came from Tennessee; however, he was born in either Missouri or in 1834. (Different census records show different locations). His parents came from VA. I also have another piece of information on the Bunches. Will have to dig it out of an old notebook. Apparently there were 2 Bunch brothers (John and James), who were spies for the Continental Army during the American Revolution. John is the progenitor of the Kentucky Bunches and some of his descendants settled in Macon and in Linn Counties, MO. The brother, James Bunch, was wounded during the Revolution, but survived. I suspect that this is the family who relocated to Edenton NC and who intermarried with the Perry family. (My 5-g grandmother, Judith Perry and my 5 g grandfather, William Spence were married in NE NC). Descendants of this James Bunch eventually relocated to Tennessee and appear in Perry County with my Spence and Inman ancestors. Then they moved to Missouri quite early. They were in Bates by 1850 (where they appear with my Haskins ancestors, who intermarried with my Hood ancestors, who intermarried with my Spences--this just goes on and on and on). Big Jim (my grandfather once told me he stood 6 ft. 7 inches) headed a Confederate Home guard unit in Jasper County during the Civil War. He fled the state after the war with his family and my 3rd great grandmother, Elizabeth Inman Spence. They were in Grayson County for a few words and then relocated to Washington Co. AR, where my Elizabeth died in 1872/1873. By mid 1890s, they returned to Missouri, only they lived in McDonald County, which is right on the border. There are "bunches" of Bunches buried in Jane Cemetery. I remember seeing a Nimrod Bunch (he was a former resident of Jasper County); a Lee Bunch is also buried there. I know that an Oliver Bunch rode with Quantrill, but I haven't figured out how he is related to the rest of the "bunch." I am curious as to how your Bunches connect with the Inman lines that you are tracing.

Barbara, I don't know if it helps, but my oldest son has an ancestor that although English, came from Germany. The family was sent to Germany to attend an English Princess that married a German Prince. The family kept its English characteristics although the family (three generations if I remember right) was in Germany a lengthy time before coming on to Maryland sometime around 1700 to 1750.

I've been thinking about the German origin issue for Meshach Inman, and a thought suddenly struck me: Meshach was English. That has been fairly well established. However, nothing has ever been decided about Meshach's wife. She may well have been German. Rowan County, NC had a large German population during the time that all of these people lived there. Meshach and his brothers were all fairly young when they arrived in NC. Shadrach and Abednego did not marry until after they settled in NC; I think this is also true of Meshach. After Meshach's death, his wife eventually relocated to Middle Tennessee. Lazarus Inman (b. 1765) was the first of the two sons to move there. He first settled in what is today Williamson County and then later resettled in Kentucky, where he died when he was almost 100. Samuel Inman (b. 1767)--from whom I descend--did not relocate to Tennessee until after 1795. He settled in what is today Perry County. I have records from there on which he is listed as a squatter on Indian lands in 1809. His daughter, Elizabeth, my 3rd great grandmother, was born there in either late 1808 or early 1809. Lazarus and Samuel would have had very few memories of their father Meshach. However, they would certainly have been aware of their mother's German ancestry. Perhaps they thought their father was a German also and perhaps this is where the "German issue" originates. I have run across this same type of thing on the Spence lines. Family lore suggests that the Spences may have come from Alabama, etc.--but Alabama is the place where Elisha Spence's father-in-law John Spencer (the first sheriff of Maury County, TN) died in 1825. Perhaps someone along the line thought that there was an Alabama origin for all of these people. I have already referred to the other discrepancies between the 1880 Jasper County, Missouri census and the 1880 Washington County, Arkansas census. When asked about his parents' birthplaces, William David Spence (of Jasper County) knew that his father Samuel Spence was born in SC. So he presumed that his mother Elizabeth Inman was born there also. (Elizabeth fled from Missouri with the Bunch family after the Civil War and died in Washington County). On the other hand, Milly Catherine Spence Bunch (William David's sister) knew that her mother Elizabeth Inman was born in TN. She presumed that her father was born in TN as well. I think this "Meshach as a German" issue stems from this kind of thing. I also think that Meshach's wife was probably a German. This will be my next focus of research whenever I return to the library!!! Barbara

The listowner hath returned (or whatever). We had a great trip. However, I was unable to access Moss Springs Cemetery in Jasper County, MO. The Midwest has suffered from so much rainfall, the fields are standing in water. Naturally, Moss Springs was buried in grasses and I didn't want to blaze a trail getting down to that cemetery. However, my trip was otherwise successful. I was able to go to Butler Creek Cemetery in Benton County, Arkansas. This Cemetery sits on the state line, just barely across the Arkansas state line. And I found the graves of my 3rd great grandparents: Joel O. Hood and Nancy Haskins Hood. Nancy's gravestone had fallen off its mount and was broken in two places. But it was quite readable. Joel's tombstone still stands proudly, and I was able to read that also. The Hoods left Missouri in 1866 when Missouri passed laws depriving Southern people of their rights. I also discovered that part of the Jones family moved to Benton County, Arkansas apparently with the Hoods. Samuel Spence's sister, Milly Catherine Spence, married Lewis Jones in Tennessee in 1820. One very interesting stone next to Nancy Haskin Hood's belonged to a Martha Jones who was born in 1805 and who died in 1815. Apparently, her parents returned to Tennessee to "get her" and had her reburied in Benton County, Arkansas with them. The name "Martha" strikes my interest. Joes Hood's mother was Martha Owensby Hood. So I am now wondering about possible Jones/Hood connections. I was also able to go to the Jane Cemetery in Jane, Missouri. Many of those tombstones have been demolished over the years. However, the tombstone for the old guerilla fighter, James H. Bunch, and his wife, Milly Catherine Spence, proudly stands. Milly died in 1896; James H. died in 1923 (not 1929, as the cemetery record states). He still lived a long life. These people were my 3rd great uncle and aunt. I also found George Triplett's grave in Fidelity Cemetery in Jasper County, MO. He married Rebecca JANE Spence, the oldest daughter of Samuel Spence (1800-1859) and Elizabeth Inman (1809-1872) in 1858. (I learned that her middle name was Jane after arriving home and reading a letter I had received from Mora Spence in Oklahoma. That further purports my "grandmother theory" for Rebecca's name. I had long speculated that her first name (Rebecca) was derived from Elizabeth's mother (Rebecca Graham) and that her second name was possibly Jane, derived from Samuel's stepmother, Jane Bell Spence. However, I now have another theory about the first name "Rebecca." Some of the Spencer records I have been uncovering suggest that Elisha Spence's first wife, Susannah Spencer, may really have been Rebecca Susannah Spencer. So Rebecca Jane Spence may have been named for Samuel's mother (Rebecca Susannah) and Samuel's step mother, Jane Bell Spence. Rebecca Jane Spence died in childbirth; the child died also. George appears alone on the 1860 Census for Jasper County. He fought in the Civil War on the side of the North (opposite his former brother-in-law, James Bunch, who headed a Confederate Home Guard Unit in Jasper County). George was captured in Lexington MO, but that was early in the war when prisoners were exchanged by the time each side had an equal number. Unfortunately for George's former brother-in-law, Newton Jasper Spence, "finders" became "keepers." Newton Jasper spent a year in Alton prison and another dreadful year at Fort Delaware. (We visited that site last year). George remarried after the Civil War and I believe that he lived until 1909. I think that his second wife may have been Matilda ???. At least a Matilda is buried next to him. But there is something interesting about these Tripletts besides the Rebecca/George connection. Samuel Spence and Elizabeth Inman's youngest daughter was Sarah Elizabeth Spence, who married John Hull. She eventually resided in Canon City, Colorado. After that, the record in Canon City concerning the Hulls fades into the sunset. However, while I was reading the old microfilm of the Jasper County newspaper microfilm, I ran across an obituary for an Arthur Triplett ca. 1911 or 1912. The obituary stated that his wife Sarah E. had died some eight years previously. It is possible that this is Sarah Elizabeth Spence Hull Triplett. John Hull may have died in Canon City; Sarah returned to Jasper County and married Arthur Triplett, who was possibly George Triplett's younger brother or cousin! Also, Graham records I have recently acquired suggest that Elizabeth Inman's mother was Sarah Graham. If so, then Rebecca Jane Spence was named for Samuel's mother and stepmother and Sarah Elizabeth was named for Elizabeth Inman's mother and for Elizabeth. The Spences had another daughter who died in Tennessee (I think). I do not know her name. It was also in Fidelity Cemetery in Jasper County where I encountered one of the worst cases of grave destruction I have ever seen in all my years of "cemetery tromping." The heavy rains there have made the ground quite soggy. Some "yo yo" with a heavy vehicle (possibly a 4-wheeler) thought it would be fun to do a "yahoo" across the center of that graveyard. You can see where his/her tracks went in and left. Apparently, the vehicle "bogged down" on top of the Gilbert graves in the middle of the cemetery and had a "whee" of a time getting out of there. People had already placed flowers on those graves. Flowers were thrown everywhere. I ventured as close to the chaos as I dared. As badly torn up as these Gilbert graves were, I was afraid I would fall inside some hole if I ventured any closer! Needless to say, I would like to wring the neck of the person(s) who did this! I'm not related to the Gilberts, but I hate to see this sort of destruction. Shortly after our visit to Fidelity, we drove down a side road where we encountered our humorous event of the trip. As we drove down the road, I saw what appeared to be an elephant standing in the middle of a field. Now this is ridiculous, I thought. I had read about Jasper County, Missouri's Republican past, but an elephant in the field??? Impossible!!! That's when the elephant moved and we realized that it was real. "Now, how did some farmer get permission to put an elephant in his field?" my husband wondered. We quickly discovered the reason: the elephant belonged to a circus and not to the Republican Party! Back to genealogy! In Center Cemetery (Jasper County, MO), I found a few tombstones missing that I had photographed several years ago. One belonged to a Mary Spence. When I photographed it, the stone had fallen from its base and was lying on the grass. I remember standing on the base to photograph the stone. This time, both stone and base were gone. However, I did discover one place in Center that attracted my attention. At the rear of the cemetery is a large plot. It could hold approximately four to six graves. No name identifies the plot. A Bradley stone stands approximately two to three feet from it, but the Bradley stone seems disconnected from it. Here's my theory: this is the resting place for Samuel Spence, Elizabeth Inman Spence, Daniel Spence, Mary Polly Pewitt Spence and quite possibly Lewis Jones and Milly Catherine Spence Jones. My reasoning follows. Lewis Jones died in 1847. He was probably buried in Moss Springs. Daniel Spence died after the 1850 Census was taken and before 1859. He was probably buried in Moss Springs. Samuel Spence died in 1859. He was probably buried in Moss Springs. Elizabeth Inman Spence died in Arkansas in 1872. I believe that the James Bunch family (with whom she lived) returned her to Jasper County, MO. However, (as my mother related when I visited her on this trip), the lower, older section of Moss Springs always flooded whenever the creek was high. So, Daniel, his wife Mary, and Samuel were reburied in Center (which is high and dry), and Elizabeth was buried with her husband. Lewis Jones may have also been relocated to Center. Milly Catherine Spence Jones did not die until 1876. So she would have been the last one buried in the plot. As I said, this plot is large enough to house six graves, and I think that this is the resting place for these people. Dr. Moss, one of the pioneers of Jasper County, who was well acqainted with these people, is also buried in Center Cemetery. I found his grave. So, if Dr. Moss is buried in Center--the possibility exists that these other people are also buried in Center. I have yet to uncover any record of them as being buried in Moss Springs. I have a picture of this large plot. If anyone is interested, let me know. I will scan it and send it to you via e-mail. I was also able to visit with Laura Todd Spence, my great aunt who is 93 years old. She was my grandfather (William Franklin Spence--1884-1973)'s sister-in-law and was married to one of his younger brothers, Ivan Spence. We had a wonderful visit and she showed me some wonderful pictures that she has. I have a picture of the Salathiel Monroe Spence family that I took from one of hers. However, I am going to have to do some things with it in order to make it clear. One thing I learned from the picture: my grandfather and his younger brother, Walter, definitely took after their mother's side of the family (Josephine Virginia Kessler). His brothers Claude and Ivan were both dead ringers for their father, Salathiel Monroe Spence. I think their sister, Nettie Mae, may have favored the Spence side and I am still unsure about their young brother who died, Lester. Aunt Laura showed me his picture that was taken just before his death in 1905. One "wild" thing came out of my visit with her and I am still trying to grasp it. She showed me a picture of her great grandson, Con, who is a dead ringer for our little 3-year old grandson, Jason. When I first saw the picture, I almost asked: "How did you get a picture of Jason?" But it wasn't Jason; it was her great grandson! The resemblance is uncanny. (Pictures certainly fill in the gaps for some of these genealogical questions!!!) Aunt Laura's only son, Lester Spence, died of the old Spence curse (heart disease) in March of this year. He was 73 years old. Her own husband (my great uncle Ivan) died in 1978. She told me that she didn't think she would ever live so long. But she is quite active for her age of 93. So, that's the sum and substance of our trip. When I arrived home, I found a long letter from Mora Spence (a descendant of Newton Jasper Spence, who is mentioned above). She forwarded some information that she had. Okay, Inman List. Here goes. One section states: "Another group of notes. I don't know who gave me these. The Spences migrated from Tenn. to Mo. THE INMANS WERE FROM GERMANY. Tehy were wealthy people, but left all their wealth and came to America. Elizabeth Inman had a brother, Jefferson Inman." I know that once upon a time, someone on the Inman list told me that Meshach Inman came from Germany. Will you please get in touch with me and re-inform me of all of this. I have an idea that the 3 brothers, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, may have been educated in Germany. Heidelburg (sp) was a big place for this type of thing. My theory: nothing to substantiate it as yet. The Inmans were of English origin. Does anyone know anything about a Jefferson Inman? Anyway, I'm back. I have 97 messages waiting for me. Let's continue. Barbara

Greetings again to all of the Inman researchers. I just wanted to let you know the status on a few items. The site is now operating on the new web server. It is HIGHLY recommended that you use the new URL. Please change your bookmarks if you have any set to this site. It will increase your download time because you will not be going through the main gate at Surnameweb. The new URL is technically a side door entrance used by less people therefore it is faster. In making all of the corrections to the scripts and web pages, I found that the message board's auto notification feature had been damaged. For those that had signed up to be notified when new messages were posted, you might want to go back and try to sign up again. Or you can let me know and I can add your name to the list. All of the links in the database have been changed to the new URL. They should all be working. Hopefully I have not erased, or overwritten, any links that you might have put in. Feel free to check and add links to the database web pages if necessary. For subscribers to the Rootsweb list, you should now be receiving copies of new entries to the Guest Book. There were 3 new entries last week. If you are not getting these copies, please let me, or Barabara Beall, know so we can check on the problem. There are now 296 photos in the Photo Album. I just received 7 photos on the family of Leroy D. Inman. Search for Phyllis Davis in the Photo Album. The notes from his Family Bible are now on the DOCUMENTS|Wills page. I am changing the setup in the database for easier reading. The ID# is back and larger. I have added some color for easier sighting. And the whole page now displays in BOLD print for those of us with fading eyesight. Finally, I have just added two more gedcoms, bringing the total number of names to 46,607. The newest additions are from: 1) The KY Inmans who moved to IN. 2) The NE line that intermarried with the Whipples, Smiths and Angells. I put in a lot of those names. The most interesting part is the marriage of Mary Ann Angell to Brigham Young, the Mormon leader. For those interested, his page is: http://inman.surnameweb.org/scripts/igmget.cgi/n=Inman?I45711 The next changes to the database are: 1) I am moving the "nicknames" from the top line to a notes line below the ID#. 2) I am going to start moving obits out of the message files into the Abstracts area. The data file is now over 10 MB. This move will decrease this file, allow it to upload faster and make smaller web pages in the database. For every article moved a link will be created on the web page that takes you to the new site of the article. If an article on one of your family disappears without a link being added, please let me know. Thanks again for everyones help and support. -- Jim Williams - Please update your bookmarks to the links below. --> Shortcuts to The Inman Compendium <-- Main page - http://inman.surnameweb.org/index.htm Submit a Bio - http://inman.surnameweb.org/guest/biopage.htm Database - http://inman.surnameweb.org/database.htm Photo Album - http://inman.surnameweb.org/contact.htm

I got this the other day and am still trying to make a connection. But I need your help. Does the young James sound familiar? Isn't there a James living with another family that everyone is always trying to place? Is this him? Any help is appreciated. JIM -------- Original Message -------- From: Michael Beall <mpbeall@rmci.net> Subject: Re: Inman To: Jim Williams <jim76501@vvm.com> Jim, Excuse me for taking so long to reply. Thank you so much for writting. I will certainly be spending time searching through your web pages. Finding my Inmans in the 1870 and 1880 censuses had been unsucessful as yet and very frustrating. Without this information I can not be certain in liking to the Inman household in Giles County that I suspect. This is the 1860 household that I suspect: 1860 Census, Northern Subdivision, Giles County, Tennessee Page 65, 27 June 1860, Lynnville P.O. 24, 448, 448, John W. Innman, 30, M, Tennessee, farmer, 0, 400 25, Nancy E.(Innman), 23, F, Tennessee 26, Arabella (Innman), 4, F, Tennessee 27, Virginia A. (Innman), 2, F, Tennessee 28, James N. (Innman), 3/12, M, Tennessee As my great-grandmother was not born until 1862, an 1870 census house would go a long way to establishing a definate link. Then I would need to link back father - but one step at a time. The connection between my Anderson family and the Inman family may be more than just that my greatgrandfather, Samuel Anderson, married my greatgrandmother, Cynthia Inman. Giles County, and Decatur County census information makes me suspect that one of Samuel Anderson's aunts may have also married an Inman - possibly widowed by 1860 as I find her, 29 year old Elizabeth with an Inman surname and a 4 year old son, James. I find her 10 years later married to a Lanier, but still with a 14 year old James Inman in the household. Also in the household is her widowed mother, Nancy Anderson! Are you aware of the 26 year old Robert L. Anderson in Giles County in 1860 - apparently married to a 29 year old Rachel, with a couple children and a 67 year old "domestic" in the household named, Elizabeth Anderson. I am not aware of the connection to my Anderson - but a connection would not surprise me. My 3rd-great-grandparents are the 70 yr. old NH (i.e. Nathaniel) Anderson and 56 yr. old Nancy H. Anderson, on page 60 of 1860 census, Giles County. And my 2nd-great-grandparents are the 20 year old John W. Anderson and 29 year old Sarah Anderson on page 108 of 1860 census, Giles County. I am pretty certain of the children of Nathaniel and Nancy Anderson - so I am certain this Robert Anderson is not a son - but maybe a nephew (???). There are several Andersons in the county at that time other than Nathaniel and his children. I have seen that a lot of Giles County Inmans went to Missouri about this time. I have no family tradition that my Inmans did - but it would not be out of the realm of possibility that they could have and returned to Tennessee. I really know so very little that I can rely upon. Thanks again for writting and I will be looking hard at The Inman Compendium!

Was looking at Mortality Schedules on Ancestry.com this morning. Can anyone identify this lady? More importantly, can anyone identify her husband? Prudence Inman, 1850 McNairy Co. TN Mortality Schedule, died April, 1850, age 69, cause of death: Winter fever, born SC. Thanks Terry Jackson

I spent part of the day yesterday pulling out notebooks I plan to take with me on our trip. One book I plan to take was written by a distant cousin named Clyde Hood. (The Hoods and Spences intermarried in Missouri). Clyde and I both descend from Thomas Hood and Martha Owensby; they were our 4th g grandparents. Thomas died in 1820 and is buried in Monroe County, TN. Martha (b. 1776) lived to the ripe old age of 95 and is buried in Jasper County, MO. I started rereading the chapters in his book dealing with Burke County, NC and Greenville County, SC. I think I may have mentioned that these Hoods lived in Burke when John Spencer (Elisha Spence's father-in-law) and Samuel Inman (Elisha's son, Samuel's, father-in-law) all lived there. Samuel Inman and John Spencer appear together on a militia list. And John Spencer and Samuel Inman eventually resided in Perry County, TN (after John's tenure as sheriff of Maury County). According to Clyde, in 1789 the portion of Burke County where the Hoods lived became Wilkes County. William Spencer (who is buried in Moss Springs Cemetery in Jasper County, MO) was born in Wilkes County ca. 1816/1819, and he was the son of Joseph Spencer, whose name connects with your William Spencer of Anson and John Spencer of Anson, and Thomas Spencer of Caswell. Clyde created a map of Hood properties in Burke County and also showed them in relationship with their neighbors (whose names appear on deed records, etc., with them). He did not include the Spencer name because he didn't know of the Spencer or Spence connection with these Hoods in North and South Carolina. After I get home from my trip, I'm going to take a copy of that map and attempt to fill in the Spencer properties. Then I think that we will get a better picture of this. One of the servants Oliver Spencer transported into South Carolina in 1671/1672 bore the surname "King". Clyde's third g. grandfather was David King Hood. I suspect that the Kings intermarried with the Hoods or the Owensbys or the Spencers or the Inmans, and that this is possibly the same family????!!!! That's something else I need to work on. Another recent discovery really has me interested and it is something else I plan to investigate after I go home. Someone on the Inman list found a deed record in Union County SC for Shedrach or Shadrach Inman. John Spencer of Anson's son, Jesse, settled in Spartanburg. Also, I have found a William Spencer of record very early in Union County. There has to be a connection here somewhere, and I hope to find it. Also, concerning Greenville, SC--Clyde included a map of Hood properties there. They were in the same area where John Spencer lived when he resided in Greenville. My theory is that all of these people knew one another and probably intermarried with one another long before they ever relocated to TN or MO. But, it is an enticing prospect. And I look forward to plunging into it further.

...thank goodness! I have one more day (Wednesday) and this semester is finally over! On Friday of this week, my husband and I will leave on our trip to the Midwest. We will be gone only one week this year, so -- please -- continue posting those messages. I'm having a problem refocusing. As I recall, I made a few discoveries before the paper onslaught. It will take me a while recalling where I was and what threads I had uncovered. Meanwhile, I am finally constructing my website. It should be up and rolling shortly after my return from our trip. If you are interested in gaining access to this website, let me know. I will add your name to my list.
